WARNING To prevent file loss, always power off the aircraft before removing the micro SD card. Transferring Files to Your Computer 22 To transfer photos and videos to your computer, connect it to the aircraft via the USB-C Port as shown below. 2.1.5 Built-in Smart Flight System The EVO 2 delivers stable and user-friendly flight control via its built-in Smart Flight System. The system enables a variety of advanced functions, including Go Home, Failsafe, and the StarpointTM Positioning System, and operates using the modules described below. Module IMU Smart Flight System Modules Description A 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis accelerometer measures acceleration and angular velocity. Automatic IMU calibration is performed when the aircraft is powered on. Compass Measures geomagnetic field and provides heading reference for the aircraft. GNSS Receiver Receives GNSS (GPS/GLONASS) signals to determine the latitude, longitude, and altitude. Barometer Measures atmospheric pressure to determine the altitude of the aircraft. Ultrasonic Sensors Measures the distance between the aircraft and ground. Binocular Vision Sensing System Enables forward, backward, left, right, upward, and downward binocular vision. Flight Modes 23 The EVO 2 can automatically switch between two flight modes depending on GPS availability and flying conditions. Flight Mode Description Flight Modes GPS Mode GPS Mode is activated if the aircraft detects proper GNSS signals. GPS works with the Forward and Downward Vision Systems to locate and navigate obstacles, provide stable and smooth flight maneuvers, and enable safety features like Go Home and Failsafe. ATTI Mode ATTI Mode is activated when the GPS signal is weak, and lighting conditions are insufficient for the vision systems. Obstacle avoidance features are disabled, and the aircraft controls altitude through its barometer only. 2.1.6 Smart Flight Features Go Home The Go Home function can be enabled only when a good GPS signal is available. To manually activate the Go Home process, press and hold the Go Home Button (
command, it will return automatically and land at the present home point.
) for 3 seconds on the remote control. Once the aircraft receives this The EVO 2 can detect and avoid obstacles on its flight path using its Forward Vision System. The remote controls function will be disabled while the aircraft returns to the home point, but you can reactivate it by pressing the Pause Button (
). WARNING If the Forward Vision System is not enabled during the Go Home period, the aircraft will not automatically avoid obstacles. Press the Pause Button (
regain control of the aircraft.
) on the remote control to exit the Go Home feature and IMPORTANT The default Go Home altitude is 30 meters (90 feet). If you activate Go Home when the aircraft is at an altitude lower than that, it will rise to 30 meters (90 feet) before returning home. Learn how to adjust the Go Home altitude in the App Manual. If the Go Home function is activated within a 10-meter (30-foot) radius of 24 the home point, the aircraft will automatically descend and land. Failsafe The Failsafe function is designed to help the EVO 2 automatically return home or land in its current position when necessary. Failsafe will be activated in the two situations described below. Communication Lost Failsafe will be activated if communication is lost between your aircraft and remote control for 3 seconds. If GPS is available when the Failsafe function is activated, the aircraft will automatically use the Go Home function. Otherwise, it will land from its current position. When communication is restored, you can still press the Pause Button
(
) to regain control of the aircraft. Low Aircraft Battery Level Failsafe will also be activated in either of the following low battery conditions. A. The aircraft continually calculates the battery level required for the aircraft to return to the home point. If the battery level reaches the minimum level required for the aircraft to return to the home point, a notice will appear on the Autel ExplorerTM app. Failsafe will be activated and the Go Home process will be initiated. Again, you can regain control of the aircraft by pressing the Pause Button (
). B. When the aircraft's battery level reaches the 25% threshold, youll receive a Low Battery Warning and Failsafe will be activated, after which the aircraft will automatically return home. If you retake control of the aircraft, youll receive a Critically Low Battery Warning when the battery reaches 15%, and the aircraft will automatically land in its current position. If landing in the current position may result in an emergency, you can press the Pause Button
(
) to halt the landing and fly it to the nearest possible safe landing site. 25 NOTES If the aircraft is within 50 horizontal meters (150 feet) from the home point when your aircraft battery level reaches 25% (Low Battery Warning), the aircraft will not perform the Go Home procedure. If GPS is unavailable when Failsafe is activated during a Low Battery Warning, the aircraft will not execute the Go Home procedure. Instead, the aircraft will enter ATTI mode and stay in your control. The aircraft will proceed to land automatically only when the battery reaches 15%
(Critically Low Battery Warning). Landing Features Landing Protection the aircraft arrives above When the home point, Landing Protection functionality will detect the ground conditions below. The aircraft will land automatically if the ground is level and flat. If not, it will hover at the current location to wait for the next command. Accurate Landing The aircraft will scan and match the terrain features if Accurate Landing function is active, it will land as close as possible to the takeoff point once the current terrain matches the takeoff point terrain. IMPORTANT The aircraft records the takeoff point as the default home point. Accurate Landing is available only when the home point has not been refreshed during the flight. Choose an open and well-lit area (such as a lawn) as your takeoff point. When Accurate Landing is preparing to land the aircraft, make sure that conditions at your takeoff point havent changed. NOTE Landing Protection and Accurate Landing can be enabled using the app. Instructions for these functions are available in the App Manual. 26 2.1.7 Omnidirectional Binocular Vision Sensing System The EVO 2s front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom binocular vision sensing systems use image data to calculate the distance between the aircraft and potential obstacles. The system will halt the aircrafts forward progress when an obstacle is detected. The front, rear, and bottom binocular vision systems also feature the Starpoint Positioning System. This system uses ultrasonic sensors to calculate the current height of the aircraft, and uses the binocular cameras to obtain location information via image analysis. Binocular Vision Sensing Systems System Location on Aircraft Obstacle Sensing Range Front Rear Nose of the aircraft 0.5 to 20 m (1.5 ft to 60 ft) Tail of the aircraft 0.5 to 16 m (1.5 ft to 48 ft) Left/Right Rear portion of the left and right side of the aircraft, respectively 0.5 to 10 m (1.5 ft to 30 ft) Top Top of the aircraft 0.5 to 10 m (1.5 ft to 30 ft) Bottom Bottom of the aircraft 0.5 to 20 m (1.5 ft to 60 ft) The following diagrams show each binocular vision sensing system's angle of coverage:
27 28 Prerequisites Ensure that the aircraft is in GPS or visual positioning mode. Wait until the flight LED indicators are either slow flashing green or double flashing red before taking off. Exercise increased caution while flying if the GPS signal is weak or visual positioning requirements cannot be met for example, when around surfaces with little visible texture or when flying at an altitude of over 12 meters (36 feet). The binocular vision sensing systems and Starpoint Positioning System are affected by the brightness and texture of the surfaces over which the aircraft is flying. Avoid flying over surfaces that are:
Highly reflective, such as water Especially dark or bright Subject to frequent lighting changes Monochromatic Made of closely repeating patterns, such as tiles Sound-absorbent, such as thick carpeting In motion, such as roads with heavy traffic Keep the binocular camera lenses and sensors clean. To avoid interference with the Starpoint Positioning System, do not use 40 kHz ultrasonic devices, such as ultrasonic rangefinders, fault detectors, cleaners or welding machines. Functionality Description Smart Tracking Smart tracking uses deep learning algorithms to detect six types of subjects in 29 real time: pedestrian, cyclist, car, truck, boat, or animal. A real-time tracking algorithm is used to automatically track the selected subject while avoiding obstacles during flight. The function can track the subject in three modes: behind, side-by-side, or fixed position. Viewpoint Viewpoint allows the user to send the aircraft to a selected destination by touching a point on the screen. Gesture Commands The main camera uses deep learning algorithms to recognize and respond to three gesture commands: outstretch your arms to set yourself as a target, raise both arms to capture a photo, and raise one arm to start or stop recording. Accurate Landing Accurate landing uses the aircrafts bottom binocular vision system to save a series of images indicating the aircraft's altitude and yaw during takeoff. During the go-home and landing process, the aircraft matches the aircraft's altitude and yaw to the images taken during takeoff, and calculates how far off the aircraft is from its takeoff location. The aircraft is accurately controlled based on VIO feedback, and lands in its takeoff position.
